You know that neon socks were the craze, and it was really cool to wear a different color on each foot.

Brooke often wears socks of different colors and styles.  She can wear any odd looking hat and still look good in it.

......Oh, you still carry a hankerchief in your rear right pants pocket and a wallet in your left.

My Dad has always been bass-ackwards about that...wallet on the right, hankie on the left.  Me, I carry wallet on the left and checkbook on the right, and I ain't owned a handkerchief in years.  Well, Dad and me have worn the same size britches for quite a while until he recently graduated to a larger size, so he gave me a whole stack of his old ones.  I wore a pair of his old Levi's today, and when I reached for my wallet, a neatly folded handkerchief came out with it. :D

 ??? I have always packed my wallet in the right pocket , very seldom see anyone pull it out with the left hand. And I am a southpaw. :D

That because it's easier to pull it out with your right hand when it's in your right pocket.   sheeeezzz!   :D :D

We were taught that the button on the left rear pocket was to keep the wallet in. The right pocket had no button. :)

I always wondered why the button was on the wrong pocket. Just to keep my kerchief secure, I guess.  :) 

Wallet always in my right rear pocket. And kinda glad I don't have a button there to fool with as well.  :)

The thieves are kinda glad you don't have a button over your wallet too.  :D :D

(and no thieves  :) )

Friend of mine in Italy had his wallet in a buttoned vest pocket, that was under a zipped outer jacket...but the thieves on a crowded bus removed the wallet without his knowing it (until he had just left the bus).

I was taught to keep my wallet in left rear pocket and to keep my bills sorted and arranged.  That was so when I pulled my wallet with my left hand and opened it,  the faces would be showing and numbers up and in numerical sequence from $1, up.  I then could reach in with my right hand and pull out the bills.

My sons and many younger men just stuff cash in their pockets.  When they go to pay for something, they've got this nasty wad to unfold and fumble through.

I did buck the tradition by getting a tri-fold instead of just a bi-fold wallet.

Years ago,  there were some rough coustomers that lived in our area and they frequently ran off the slab in front of our house.  I never knew what kind of situation I might find,  so I got to where I'd slip my .25 ACP in my hip pocket before I went to pull them out.  On one occasion,  it was an old fellow that gave me several stories to tell my grandkids.  When I saw who it was,  I forgot all about my 'piece' untill he said "I've got one too"  "One what?" I asked.  He pulled up his shirt to show me the old .32 revolver in his belt. :D :D

We neither one had a wallet or anything to put in one :(

Uncle packed this little jewel for years...I don't think he would have understood or even cared about the debate for conceal/carry.  I know it's never been shot in anger...and just a few times at beer bottles.




Dad asked if I would go with him today to re-new his truck license.  He wanted to get a license plate that showed he was a veteran of WW-II just to keep up with his buddies.  Since he doesn't hear well I told him to sit down in the license bureau and I would handle it all.  The nice, young, and cute lady said I would have to show my honorable discharge (DD-214) to get the plate which I did.  She than preceded to compliment me on my service to the country. ??? ::) ??? ::)

DanG Larry, you must of been -4 years old when you served in WW-II.  Of course, anyone over 40 looks real old to the younger folks.

Bib, that is something that drives us Canucks crazy. All your bills are the same colour. No wonder you have to do it that way. :D

Not no more.  All the new bills they're coming out with look fakes.   :-\

Remember silver certificates and $2.00 bills?   And when 10 cents and up were real silver?

Back in '66 we took our first family vacation out of state and drove to L.A. to visit dad's brother.   Mom saved up changed for a couple of years to pay for the trip.  She must have had $500.00 in silver coins she rolled up and traded in for traveler's checks.

I remember that year most well...graduated from high school and knew it all...or so I thought. :o :o

Dad hit the bank yesterday to pick up a roll of the latest state quarters...Arizona.  His favorite teller told him the mint was going to start kicking out gold dollars...can't wait to see what they are made from.

I can not remember the last time I had money in my wallet.  Well, except when I used to have some from time to time, I could keep a bill or two stashed for emergency.

If I'm allowed to have any actual paper money on my person, I keep it neatly folded in my front pocket with my challenge coin.   If I'm out on a trip where I have to have some money, I always keep a few ones on the outside of the fold.  Wallet is just for driver license, other ID's and a couple of gas cards (Chevron and Valero).

I don't think I have any pants without a watch pocket.  I don't do watches, but I keep my little swiss army, a spare cuff key and my lucky chinese coin there.

I thik riding in the saddle convinced me that having much in a wallet was a real PITA.   :D

I gave up carrying my wallet about ten years ago. It now stays wedged in the four wheel drive shifter boot. Got really bad back pain from sitting on my wallet, but not because it had too much money in it. ;)

Yea,  every stupid place you do business wants to issue you a customer card for some reason.  I get to where I won't do business with the places because of it.   We had a big box store move into our side of town.  I thought "Cool!  It'll be the closest, quickest place to pick up something I need, when I need it."   I got their "friends" card that was supposed to give you some credit back sometime on something.  After a couple of trips and I couldn't find or they didn't have what I needed,  I quit shopping there and went the extra mile to Westlakes Hardware.   A month or so back I went in the big box store with Mary to get some plants.  I dug out my card.  They couldn't find me in their records.  Seems if you don't do business within some length of time, they drop you.  So much for being friends.  Now when they ask,  I just tell them I don't have the card but give them my cousin's name.  He's going to wonder when he bought all that stuff to get the special credits.
